My instrumental teaching programme is centred around a performance-based syllabus, where students are grouped into mixed-instrument classes and focus on teamwork, listening and performance skills as they progress through their chosen instrument. This approach:
- motivates students as part of a band or performance group
- develops listening and inter-personal engagement from the beginning of tuition
- is flexible in that students can try out different instruments within the same group context

My electronic music programmes are a five or ten week course for students of all abilities, using the Soundation online digital audio workspace to learn all aspects of electronic music creation and production. This highly successful programme engages students who would otherwise consider themselves non-musical, while also catering for students looking to create more detailed original composition. The course covers:
- Audio collage
- Sampling
- MIDI tools
- Synthesis basics
- Mixing and exporting / rendering projects

My musical theatre programme is a ten to twenty week course that works with students to collaboratively create a new work for performance that involves music, drama and dance. Stuctured workshops in the first few weeks of the course generate and develop the students' own ideas to create the final performance. Students find where their skills can be applied in the process of creation, under my guidance (my introduction to the performing arts was through volunteering in my local musical theatre company, learning all aspects of stage production, on and off stage).

Vocal Foundations workshop
Does your kid love to sing? A shower diva, or a bedroom hairbrush rock star? Or maybe they are curious about music and enjoy it, but don’t know where to start?
Gen alpha is a mixed-voice choir for kids in primary or secondary school learning songs from all over the world. Vocal skills and technique development will be integrated into each session using the Vocal Foundations method developed by conductor Scott Sanders through his years of choral singing and direction.
All kids need is their voice and a willingness to have fun!
